The correct answer is Frequency.
The pitch of a sound is determined by its frequency. A higher frequency corresponds to a higher pitch, and a lower frequency corresponds to a lower pitch.
Intensity is related to the amplitude of the sound wave and is perceived as loudness. Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency for a constant speed of sound. Loudness is the subjective perception of sound intensity.
